What a waste of a sunny Saturday
Husband boss "idiot" and myself are both working today. He left for site at 5.30. And I got up and cleaned the house before opening the shop at 8.30. This is not how I envisioned my life in our fifties. I always said when I was younger I was retiring at fifty. No chance of that. We seem to be working harder than ever. We employ people to make our lives easier. They book their holidays and the shop runs like a dream. I have a holiday and DISASTER resounds. I was fifty at the latter end of 2014 I booked a sunny holiday for us for just one week. The holiday destination was fabulous. Because we had encountered such a difficult year I was exhausted. So obviously I was ill for the whole week. And when we returned OH MY DAYS. what a disaster one "idiot" blamed another for all that had ensued. When no one "idiot" was at fault they both were. I immediately announced this shop is closed for my birthday this year. Honestly you would think I'm super human so when I'm not here obviously no one would be able to cope. But I'm not. I'm just a middle aged worn out woman who everyone relies on to keep things afloat.

Like a Phoenix
I have arisen like the aforementioned phoenix. I have missed writing my blog. But life has got in the way. Too busy Too Stressed and Too guilty - Because I was upsetting my fellow co. workers - I had lapsed into silence. I'm not going to tell them I've stared to blog again. It's my blog and it's going to remain a secret.
Not a lot has changed in the years since I have last written. One or two "idiots" have come and gone in my life but the majority are still the same.
We are still trading from the same building. The For Sale sign has gone. And we have a new landlord - Another "idiot" I have to learn to work with.-
I'm told that life has made me harder. In fact just the other day Husband fellow co. worker informed me I have far more testosterone than any of the men I work with. I don't think it was meant as a compliment. One of my fellow co. workers had posted a picture of an installation promoting himself on Face Book. Unfortunately for him I had sold the product. Yes he carried out the fitting, but he had omitted to mention that in his face book post. I thought about it for all of five minutes. And then decided I was having none of that. So I made a comment. If it comes to a fight I certainly am not going to give in gracefully. It's just not in my nature to give in without a fight.
I will try to entertain you as much as I can and often as I can without my fellow co. workers "idiots" noticing. I have tried over the last couple of days to blog from my kindle at home. But it's so much easier on my work computer I will endeavour to covertly blog from here.
